Overwatch 1440p cpu

[safarihunter]

I generally play Overwatch on my pc but when I built my pc I was misinformed when I thought that my i5 6600k would make the cut. I am peaking at 90% usage on my cpu and am only getting around 90 to 110 frames. I've got a 1070 GPU that is not passing the 35% usage mark and 16 gigs of ram that is never more than at a 50% load.. What cpu should I upgrade to so I can get my full 144hz that my monitor is capable of? Or is there a way to get more out of my cpu besides overclocking, because the overclocking doesn't ever give it more than maybe 10 extra frames. I am wanting to be able to run max settings on OW and other blizzard games.

 

Also my overclocking has been a bit weird lately, when I tell it to OC in BIOS, the loading screen that used to tell me that it's at 23% under the asus logo doesnt pop up any more and I don't know what too look for to see if my cpu is really overclocked. I have cpuz but I'm not sure what wil tell me if i'm overclocked or not.

Upgrade to ryzen if you are going to buy new parts, Get the R3600 or 3700
